Ingredients

• 3 large Russet potatoes
• 3 medium Carrots
• 2 medium Parsnips
• 1 medium Rutabaga
• 4 tablespoons Butter
• 0.5 cup Heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 cloves Garlic
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Peel and chop the Russet potatoes, carrots, parsnips, and rutabaga into evenly sized chunks, about 1.5 inches each for even cooking.

Step 2

Peel the garlic cloves and set them aside.

Step 3

Fill a large pot with water, add a pinch of salt, and bring it to a boil.

Step 4

Carefully add the chopped vegetables and garlic to the boiling water. Reduce heat to a simmer, cover, and cook for 20-25 minutes, or until the vegetables are fork-tender.

Step 5

While the vegetables are cooking, heat the olive oil in a small saucepan over low heat. Add the thyme leaves and stir gently for 1-2 minutes to release their aroma. Set aside.

Step 6

Once the vegetables are cooked, drain them thoroughly in a colander and return them to the pot.

Step 7

Add butter, heavy cream, salt, black pepper, and the oil infused with thyme to the pot with the drained vegetables.

Step 8

Mash the mixture using a potato masher or a hand mixer until you reach your desired consistency (chunky or smooth). Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.

Step 9

Transfer the mashed root veggies to a serving bowl and garnish with an extra sprinkle of fresh thyme if desired.

Step 10

Serve warm as a side dish or a main dish with crusty bread or a fresh salad.
